Large Ring C96 Broomhandle - additional and unusual markings

(1/2) > >>

ml09616:
 Hi folks,
 I am trying to track down these stamps, which are below the Mauser serial number on the backstrap. They look to be of the same vintage, but not a Mauser factory stamp (I don't think)....
 
 I first thought these numbers were stock serial numbers from John Rigby & Co, the English retailer, but now believe that that's not the case.
 Now I think they might be from a 'Jaeger Regiment' quartermaster, but no idea other than that.
 
 Any thoughts out there....  or has someone got a C96 with similar markings?
 thanks,
 Mike

Hi folks,does anyone have any ideas on this one, or where I could start looking?thanks, Mike

fasenda:
May I ask you for the serial number? I know another Mauser with J.r. characters and with the same series 20xxx.

vlim:
Germany used the J. and I. intermittantly.
So it's most probably an abbreviation for an Infantry Regiment.

fasenda:
It's certainly not an abbreviation for an infantry regiment.
